You are thinking about adding a wing dish, But your asking us where you should point it?
LOL!

Are just adding it because you're bored, Or because you have a weak 129 and you want to remedy that?
You would have to add the 61.5 and 72.7 because Eastern arcs HD is on both.
But also that will cause havoc with your system have 2 arcs.

If you are in Buffalo you can get all of your channels, in HD, using an eastern arc setup. Buffalo HD locals are on 61.5 and SD is on 110. Instead of a wing dish I would change to eastern arc and be done with it....

He can still change to eastern arc and be OK... He's already working on western arc...

I would suggest doing the opposite: switch to a 1000.4 EA and add a wing dish for 110 if you want to be able to record your locals in standard-def. Also, this may be nit-picking, but since when is Niagara Falls near Detroit? (Where your Location says you are.)

thanks for the replies,tried an eastern arc but some large trees interfered with sat 77.went to a western arc and its ok unless the weather is bad.so really I just wanted to try a wing dish out of boredom.just day dreaming I suppose.

thanks

The 77 isn't used for US programming in most locations anymore.
DISH has a 1000.2 Eastern arc version that only uses 61.5 and 72.7.

If you've just got to use the extra input you could add a larger dish and aim it for 129

I did that same thing some years ago because my locals were on the 61.5. It works perfectly and somewhat future proofs your setup.

I notice that plott hound has now updated his Location. (I thought I should post this before anybody posts asking what I was talking about.)
